As my issues for this assignment is about the bad growth of hospitality and tourism industry in Malaysia.

CURRENT ISSUES
SIX KEY ISSUES AFFECTING TOURISM GROWTHThe six key issues that affect the tourism growth are dirty toilets, unscrupulous taxi drivers, beggars, lack on cleanliness on highways, high toll fees at the second link and personal safety. Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Donald Lim said tourists cited dirty toilets, unscrupulous taxi drivers, beggars, lack on cleanliness on highways, high toll fees at the Second Link and personal safety as their main concerns. “Local authorities and the Housing and Local Government Ministry must ensure that toilets at restaurants and hotels, especially the one and two-star ones, are clean. “We also need local authorities, especially Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), to take action against beggars so that they do not affect the country’s image,” he said after chairing a meeting of a special committee that assists and overcomes problems faced by foreign tourists in Malaysia yesterday. Lim said local authorities also needed to address the cleanliness issue on all highways, together with the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA). He also urged MHA to review toll charges at the Second Link as tourists from Singapore were refusing to use the bridge to enter Malaysia. “Of the 17.5 million tourists who visited Malaysia last year, nine million were from Singapore and only 10% of them used the Second Link,” he said. He said the main reason why tourists were not using the Second Link was that it was more expensive and further from Johor Baru city centre. Lim also said that the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board must ensure that all taxis had fare meters and added that the increasing number of snatch thefts in the capital was another worry.

The importance of smoke-free environments for a developing fetus and for children is
widely recognized. Many authors have shown multiple adverse effects of future parents’
smoking on pregnancy outcomes, including the health of babies and children (Andres and
Day, 2000; Brook, Brook and Whiteman, 2000; Cornelius, Leech, Goldschmidt and Day,
2000; Haustein, 1999; Kallen, 2000a; Kallen, 2000b; Landau, 2001; Pastrakuljic,
Derewlany and Koren, 1999).
Pregnancy influences smoking patterns and is an opportune time for the promotion of a
smoke-free environment (Ford, Wild, Glen, Price and Wilson, 1993). Many studies in
different countries have examined the possible predictors of smoking cessation during or
prior to pregnancy. Most conclude that the mothers’ education, age, parity (O’Campo,
Faden, Brown and Gielen, 1992) and number of cigarettes smoked are the best predictors
of smoking cessation prior to or during pregnancy (Eriksson et al., 1998; Jane et al.,...

...﻿Q1: Why didn’t Arthur Andersen stand up to WMI management?
Arthur Andersen was one of the largest accounting firms in the United States and became the company’s auditor throughout this period. During 1992 to 1996, Arthur Andersen and its partners help WMI’s senior officers to manipulate company’s financial report in order to meet the target. They employed a multitude of improper accounting practices to achieve this objective.
In my opinion, the reason why Arthur Andersen didn’t stand up to WMI management is because the firm having a conflict of interest and a lack of independence when auditing a client’s financial statements. In this case, the firm chooses their own interests rather than other group and organization’s interests. Secondly, the concept of independence allows the auditors to carry out their work freely. Independence is needed from individuals that would have an interest in the results published in financial statements of a company. A lack of independence because Arthur Andersen’s consulting services division created a serious conflict of interest. As the result, Arthur Andersen paid a fine of $7 million and the largest accounting firms had to close its doors in 2002 after 90 years of business.
The fall of Arthur Andersen is one of the great tragedies of modern business. Andersen had long set the industry standard for professionalism in external accounting. In its own eyes, the fi rm stood for public service and independent integrity, protecting...

...Incompetence to understand the control and reporting system and also conflicts of interest. The goal of the business is to make profit. That is why the CEO told Jack “we simply can’t let these “greens” tell us how to run our business”.
4. Actually the Board of Directors is in ethical dilemma. They know that the plant gives bad impact to the environment and public health but on the other side they have to responsible to the business profit and also consideration of the job loss for the employees. That is why the board defers the Jack’s proposals and asked him to monitor the regulatory climate so that the plant would always be in basic compliance with provincial emission standards. Because of that Jack also took the same action by keeping the copies of his warning reports for the future.
5. The stakeholders involved are Kardell’s employees, investors, Riverside citizens and also the Legal Council.
The employees have concerns about the health and safety issues linked to Sonox. They must be confirmed they are free from Sonox Poisoning and receive a free medical treatment if they are confirmed infected.
The investors cares about this issue because Kardell most likely have to make improvements in the filtering of waste water or convert to a system of recycled water. Any changes that shut down the plant for any period of time will harm the company and the investors also. At the same time, they are also worried about the pollution caused as a result of...

Notting Hill Riots
Vedant Singh
September 6, 1958
The event and the trigger
The Aftermath ­ The sentencing of
the nine white youths arrested
during the riots has passed into
judicial lore as an example of
"exemplary sentencing" – a harsh
punishment to act as a deterrent
to others. Each of the youths
received five years in prison and
they were to also pay £500.
Another, entirely unrelated, riot
occurred many years later in
1976 at the conclusion of the
Notting Hill Carnival after police
arrested a pickpocket and a
mixed group of both black and
white youths came to his
defence.
The
disturbance
escalated and over 100 police
officers were injured.
It started with a minor domestic
dispute between a black man and
his white wife. Majbritt Morrison,
a young Swedish woman, was

...Q3 - Ho Ching has been named as one of the most powerful leaders in Asia. What are her major sources of power?
Basically, power is the ability of one person (the agent) influencing the behavior and/or attitudes of others (the target). The most major source of power Ho Ching possesses is legitimate power. Legitimate power is an agreement among organizational members that people in certain roles can request certain behaviors of others. This perceived right partly comes from formal job descriptions as well as from informal rules of conduct. Executives have considerable legitimate power, but all employees also have this power based on company rules and government laws. For example, an organization might give employees the right to request customer files if this information is required for their job.
Ho Ching possesses the title of Chief Executive Officer, which gave her supreme rights to direct the company and influence the behaviors of others. She has imposed her ideas and made her aggressive decisions to run the company. In the East Asian culture the top management is obeyed strictly without or very less sharing of ideas from lower management, so this also increases her power over others.
Apart from that she being the wife of Lee Hsein Loong, the current prime minister of Singapore, she also possesses a sort of reward power. She is capable of winning big contracts by using her sources. All the Singaporean companies under her portfolio are growing really well, which is...

...PERHAPS IT WEIGHS only 2 ounces overall. Large ones may run to 4 ounces. But when that badge is pinned on, there is a weight unknown to most law enforcement officers. The true weight of the badge is not overcome by muscle, not found in the gym, not measured on a scale. This weight requires a strength and conditioning for which few officers are trained. The badge is not just pinned on a chest, it is pinned on a lifestyle. The heaviness of the badge makes the law enforcement officer different from other professionals. Over the course of the last ten years, working as psychologists with police officers, we have identified ten areas which make the badge heavy.
10 REASONS LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ARE DIFFERENT
1) Law enforcement officers are seen as authority figures. People deal with them differently and treat them differently, even when they are not working. When a problem occurs, everyone looks to the officer to "take charge," to "solve the problem." Some say the cop is never off duty. Even when the officer is not working there is a tendency to attack problems and take charge. Sometimes taking charge is not preferable, and can cause particular strains in our world where many people like to linger with problems, never really solving anything. Recognizing the difference between a "problem solving" situation, where action is desirable, and a more passive situation, where action may alienate others, is difficult for the cop.
2) They are isolated. The wearing of a badge,...
